Installing Ububtu

[Frank Fahey]

I have two drives on my computer with the first (160 GB) in three partitions with WXP in the first partition.  My second drive has 80 GB and I would like some help to use only about 20 GB for the install of Ubuntu and the rest for daily backup and imaging.  My first pass was with a 40 GB partition for the BK-IMG and left the rest for Ubuntu.  It took all the unused space and made the partition (Fat 32) and reduced it with only 1.7 MB left.  I have tried to have only unused space on the drive, but that does not work.  I tried a 20 GB partition and unused the rest but Ubuntu used all 80 GB.  I even used Partition Magic ver 8 and provided a 18 GB for Linux ext3 and 2 GB for the swap file.  I could not figure how to get it to work.  I also tried the Gnome Partitioning software under the administrator.  No problem with using GRUB as a dual boot manager.

Any solutions.  Thanks.
